Top 5 places to hang out at night in Puerto Escondido

Having good places to go out at night to relax and experience the nightlife of a place is essential when choosing a tourist destination.

Generally, in beach destinations, small bars on the sand or parties at sunset are typical.

In Puerto Escondido, there are several options to do and get to know the nightlife. In this article, we will show you our selection of the 5 best places to go out at night in Puerto Escondido.

1. Caña Brava
2. Xcaanda
3. The boneyard
4. Patagonia Beach club
5. Chicama

If we talk about nightlife, we have to talk about Zicatela. The famous surfing beach has also become one of the main places to visit after the sun goes down.

With its multiple options of bars and restaurants on the beach or in the downtown area adorned with lights, Zicatela dresses at night to receive tourists and visitors who decide to stroll through it.

Another obligatory step, and perhaps a quieter option, is to visit La Punta de Zicatela where its different options of wooden bars and palapas will make you feel thirsty.

1. Caña Brava

With a privileged view and a spacious terrace, Caña Brava is presented as an excellent option when choosing to have a good time with friends or partner. You can also go alone and you will surely meet a lot of new people.

Caña Brava has a varied menu of cocktails, bottles and beers to choose the one you like the most. It’s music starts after sunset and doesn’t stop until sunrise. Ideal for dancing while enjoying the sea breeze. The music that is generally played in this place is very Latin: cumbia, reggaeton and salsa.

If you have the energy to move, this may be your place.

2. Xcaanda

One of the best known nightclubs is Xcaanda. It has 2 locations: one in Zicatela and one in La Punta de Zicatela. In general, the Xcaanda de Zicatela is the one that offers the most options when it comes to going out at night. Always full of people and with good music. It is also located on the beach and makes you feel in a tropical experience by dancing with your feet in the sand.

3. The Boneyard

A little quieter but with a very particular vibe, we have the famous skater bar in La Punta de Zicatela. The Boneyard opened at the end of 2020 and is the first bar with a skate bowl in Puerto Escondido. An innovation! In a surfer’s paradise with a raider crowd, The Boneyard fits perfectly into the culture of Punta de Zicatela.

Ideal to spend after sunset to have a few chelas with friends and enjoy watching people skate and practice their tricks. If you also consider yourself a raider, this place will become your must-see night out!

4. Patagonia Beach Club

Another renowned club, with a sand court and professional sound, Patagonia became the star of the summer 2020. With nightly offers every weekend, it is a good option to listen and dance some good electronic music while in the background, the noise of the sea.

Its wide and open space, makes you feel fresh and free, like everything here in Puerto Escondido.

5. Chicama

Although Chicama is popular for its food and restaurant service, its particular tropical atmosphere makes it an ideal bar to savor some good fresh drinks. Located in La Punta de Zicatela, Chicama has one of the best drink menus to refresh you, listening to some typical cumbias, to the beat of the best service and company.

It’s an excellent option if you don’t want to go out until the early hours but still want to vibrate with the place.
